“…A previous study focused on the domain of environmental protection, alcohol and mental health [13], and we extended the application of CFC to the credit domain. Second, the CFCS has been examined in English, Italian [14] and Portuguese [15] translations, and the present study confirms that the CFC construct and CFCS can be used for research purposes in the Chinese language.…”

Replacing deposits with credit scores is being applied in an increasing number of services, including bicycle rental, apartment rental and hotel accommodation services. Whether and why individuals' trustworthiness levels improve after the implementation of credit scores needs to be resolved. This paper establishes a bicycle rental experimental situation, obtains trustworthiness data from the subjects, and explores the interaction between different constraint conditions and the subjects' consideration of future consequences (CFC). The results indicate that the trustworthiness of the deposit group is lower than that of the credit score group. For high CFC individuals, there are no significant differences in the trustworthiness of the control group, deposit group and credit score group. For low CFC individuals who prefer current benefits, the trustworthiness of the deposit group is lower than that of the credit score group and control group when the latter two groups show no significant differences. Our findings demonstrate that credit scores promote trustworthiness better than deposits and that individuals who pay more attention to current benefits are more affected.

“…The CFC-14 is a two factors scale with two dimensions, one assessing consideration of immediate consequences (CFC-I), the other tapping consideration of future consequences (CFC-F). The Cronbach's alphas for the Immediate and Future scales were 0.84 and 0.83, respectively, in a large sample of Italian adolescents (Nigro et al, 2016). …”

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the interplay of functional and dysfunctional impulsivity, delay discounting, time perspective, and emotional negative states on gambling severity in Italian adolescents. A second aim of the study was to analyze the developmental trajectories of gambling involvement, functional and dysfunctional impulsivity, delay discounting, consideration of future consequences, and negative affectivity in a cross-sectional perspective. One thousand and ten Italian adolescents aging between 12 and 19 years were administered the South Oaks Gambling Screen Revised for Adolescents (SOGS-RA), the Functional and Dysfunctional Impulsivity Scale (FDIS), the Monetary Choice Questionnaire (MCQ), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFC-14), and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21). Data analyses were conducted using correlational analysis, Chi-square test, analysis of variance, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results indicated that, relative to non-gamblers and non-problem gamblers, at-risk and problem gamblers showed higher levels of impulsivity, steeper delay discounting, shorter time horizon, and reported experiencing significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Results of hierarchical regression analysis, with SOGS-RA scores as the dependent variable, and gender, age, FDIS, MCQ, CFC-14, and DASS-21 scores as independent variables, indicated that, along with gender and age, low scores of future orientation and high scores of dysfunctional impulsivity, depression, anxiety, present orientation, and delay discounting significantly predicted gambling severity. These findings provide further evidence that the higher the gambling involvement, the greater the tendency to devalue delayed rewards and to focus on the immediate consequences of one's behavior. Interestingly, for the first time these results reveal an association between gambling severity and both dysfunctional impulsivity and negative affective states across adolescence. Finally, results of cross-sectional analyses suggest that gambling severity contributes more than age in shaping the developmental trajectories of functional and dysfunctional impulsivity, delay discounting, time perspective, and negative affective states.

“…Furthermore, it has been empirically demonstrated that problem gamblers show a foreshortened time horizon, since they are likely to consider the immediate consequences rather than the long-term outcomes (Ciccarelli, Malinconico, Griffiths, Nigro, & Cosenza, 2016;Nigro, Cosenza, Ciccarelli, & Joireman, 2016;Cosenza, Griffiths, Nigro, & Ciccarelli, 2016).…”

Background and objectives: The etiology of problem gambling is multifaceted and complex. Among others factors, poor decision making, cognitive distortions (i.e., irrational beliefs about gambling), and emotional factors (e.g., negative mood states) appear to be among the most important factors in the development and maintenance of problem gambling.Although empirical evidence has suggested that cognitive distortions facilitate gambling and negative emotions are associated with gambling, the interplay between cognitive distortions, emotional states, and decision making in gambling remains unexplored.Methods: Pathological gamblers (N = 54) and healthy controls (N = 54) completed the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), the Gambling Related Cognitions Scale (GRCS), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21).Results: Compared to healthy controls, pathological gamblers showed poorer decision making and reported higher scores on measures assessing cognitive distortions and emotional distress. All measures were positively associated with gambling severity. A significant negative correlation between decision making and cognitive distortions was also observed. No associations were found between poor decision making and emotional distress. Logistic regression analysis indicated that cognitive distortions, emotional distress, and poor decision making were significant predictors of problem gambling. Limitations:The use of self-report measures and the absence of female participants limit the generalizability of the reported findings. Conclusions:The present study is the first to demonstrate the mutual influence between irrational beliefs and poor decision making, as well as the role of cognitive bias, emotional distress, and poor decision making in gambling disorder.
